Buying Tips

  • Alta Mogiana: The higher part of the Mogiana region on the São Paulo–Minas Gerais border, now with a geographical indication
  • Yellow Bourbon: A Bourbon mutation whose cherries ripen yellow, with softer, rounder sweetness than Red Bourbon
  • Style: More fruit and sweetness than a typical Brazilian natural, while keeping Brazil's low acidity and nut-chocolate character

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, 89–90°C, ratio 1:15
  • Espresso: A medium-roast single-origin shot shows clear caramel and nut sweetness
